Assata

Rive is an embodiment of confrontation expressed through self portraiture. As the subject sits within chaos, they gaze piercingly at the audience with an undefinable expression. The subject is angry and confused whilst being amongst mayhem which is similar to our own current experiences. This piece is a bridge that connects two worlds with a similar standing, but depicted in varying ways.

Rive is a strikingly acidic figuration that resides in pandemonium and exudes intimidation. With an extensive use of color and labor intensive blending, this painting demands attention while oozing domination.
